The Explorer and Captain Fico located a school of porpoises on top of a nice pot of fish on November 8th, and they trolled and casted until they filled up the fishbox.

Brittany Reich’s group was set to travel to Nosara right when Covid hit in March 2020, so its an understatement to say that they have been patient and are excited to hit the blue water.

The Explorer delivered this deck-sweeping Dorado on their first trip of the week.

The Explorer perfomed brilliantly inshore with Rob Coxey and David Borries of Jacksonville, FL. The highlight was this Rooster Fish release by David; likely the biggest Rooster Fish of the season.

Rob also scored a nice Rooster Fish release:

They also nabbed an excellent Cubera Snapper.

Amazing work by Captain Fico and the super panga!

Heidi and Jim O’Calligan captured a nice array of Sailfish releases on August 20 with Captain Fico on the Explorer.

Heidi and Jim O’Calligan took the Explorer offshore for some extreme panga fishing on the 19th and they found Sailfish stacked up and ready for battle.

This Double Sailfish release set the tone for a day full of bent rods.

Heidi rounded out the day’s trophy releases with a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table. Excellent work by Captain Fico and the super panga Explorer.
